It is located close to the Austrian border in the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria. There is a cog railway (Zugspitzbahn) leading from the tourist resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen to the peak. The peak is regularly crowded with tourists. For those wishing to earn the summit more honestly, various hiking and ski trails can also be followed to the top.
